What about FlourishBox? They do fair trade scarves. Love their stuff!!!!

Love goodly looks awesome. That is on my wishlist. I have to figure out my favorites and just have a few really good boxes, instead of a dozen or so some great, some just Ok if you know what I mean. I also love the idea of putting my money towards a box that gives back. 😉

I subscribed last month for the first time and my box came in 2 days ago, I received 2 cups and they was really pretty! They was stainless steel in the inside and they had a beautiful color on the outside.

So far they have all been items available in the Globein online store that have been previously featured in the Artisan boxes. They used to give spoilers that you should be able to find on the MSA site (search Globein Club maybe???) but starting this month they are giving subscribers different items instead of everyone getting the same thing. I got the jewelry roll from the Pamper box.

There was a scarf, sea salt, wooden salad grabbers, hanging wall organizer (my favorite item so far). This month I received a jewelry roll which is my least favorite item. The best part about club is they let you do ad ons and you can purchase previous artisan boxes for $35 so you can pick which ones you want without subscribing to the artisan box.

Since that box was very limited in supply, we requested not to review it. Hope that makes sense. We will have a review of the February box, though. But since the January box was the box with inventory issues that took some subscribers by surprise, it didn’t seem right for us to review.

Liz, I didn’t even sub to GlobeIn until February, but I admire this train of thought. 😄 I wonder if the Love box will ever be available again to newer subscribers. I was aware of the inventory issues before I signed up, thanks to MSA, but I knew there were a couple of old boxes I’d still be happy to get.
